Sharks add to forward strength

In a boost to the forward depth at the Sharks, experienced forwards Siosaia Vave and Tinirau Arona, both having recently returned from World Cup duties, have joined the club for the 2014 NRL season.

Vave, who played for the Melbourne Storm over the past two years but also made a major contribution to the Sharks success in the NSW Cup competition victory in 2013, returns to the Shire after previously playing for the Sharks in 2010-2011.

Arona joins the Sharks from the Sydney Roosters where he played a role for the club during their premiership winning season last year.

The pair are both just 24 years of age, coincidently born just a week apart in May 1989. They have signed on for the 2014 season at the Sharks.
